Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Robert

    You and this program (NITARP) have been truly remarkable and has already changed my life forever. I'm just waiting to see what happens next.

  • Piper

    Mentoring adults in these capacities [as a NITARP mentor educator] improves my ability to act more as a mentor to my classroom students, allowing them to become more self-sufficient learners. I feel this has improved my ability to mentor my colleagues as well.

  • Paulsen

    I feel like a popcorn kernel that has just burst open. I've grown so much at this meeting!
